topic of discussion among Methodist minis

great surprise at the detection OF MIR: Cal

The GAzErrE is now the Oldest paper in
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness mas
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence, In
its columns hiss always been found mirror
of passing events and the careful ehFoni-
cling OF the history ofwhat is going OF IN the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while il the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities toT OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside OF the
national capital. Situated as it is 50 close
to the great centre Of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our Own domain as well as
from every part of the haOitabe globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish telegrams from
the various European capitals twelve snd
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAzErrE great desideratum with mer-
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section OF thestate, is pub
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
mopwealth are 70 be found in the columns
OF the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in snd near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
The GAzErrE's circulation is steadily in-
creasing, especially among people who con
suit its advertising columns before purchas-
ing. That this is self:evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi'
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section of country three tines
a week, and is read by thousands, most Of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of sd
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.

"eood Beerand PLENTY ofIt.-

The extreme importance of sufficiently
nutritious feeding in youth is well
illustrated by story that James NJ. Nixon
tells.
In 1888 Aaron Turner's circus was per-
forming on a route through Pennsylvania
and at Pottsville Napoleon Turner, the
old man Turner's son, took fancy to a
wretched, starveling-looking boy, be-
tween six and seven years old, who was
incoming about In the neighborhood of
the show.
The little fellow seemed to be a nice,
intelligent sort of boy for his age, but
miserably thin and weak. His legs
bowed out from simple inability to bear
his bodys weight. All his limbs were
thin and shapeleSs as a spiders, except
for their clumsy joints. His cheeks were
sunken, and his breast seemed to have
caved in.
Nap. found the father of the lad and
managed to get the boy apprenticed to
him. The circus-men were amazed at
sight of Nap s prOtege and free to
prophesy that he would never amount to
anything.
Never mind" replied Nap. "even II
he doesn't, I'll save him from starving to
death, anyway"
They found that young Whitcomb Cthe
boys real name) could not eat meat. BE
had never eaten any. The smell Of 1t
made him sick,
Inc UrSJ arIlcle OF IalJn IN circus
mans creed is that one must eat beef to
be strong, and as it was a matter of
settled determination in Nap. Turner's
mind that young Whitcomb should be
strong, and as Nap. was the biggest
young Whitcomb had to eat beef
He commenced lightly on il. little at
a time, and gradually Of his own choice
increased the ration. He was not put TO
work at anything, but just allowed to
loaf around the tent whom the other bOvs
were practising, and try to initiate them
when he chose to do so
Very rapidly he picked up fle h, and
verified the soundness Of the circus conf
dence in beef by growing strong.
In few seasons he grew to be a TO-
bust, straight, handsome fellow, good at
leaping, tumbling, slack-rope walking.
and eventually, under the name of Henry
Turner, became famous as one of the
best four-horse riders in the country
" thanks to good beef and plenty of il, -
as Nap. Turner used TO say.

One evening Artemus Ward and I, says
Howard Paul in some "reminiscences Of
the London Savage Club in the New
York World, were urging Byron to go to
the United States.
Artemus was praising the oysters, ter
rapin, and rye whisky Of his native land,
and 1 incidentally remarked that he
would enlarge his sphere of observation

remarking in a perfunctory manner,
Every dramatist should go to Amer

Byron listened attentlvely and merrily
replied:
'"Pon my soul, can't see the great
pull in going to America. Shakspere
didn't 90 to America, and he made quite
a name as a playwright"
Exit Byron.
Henry S. Leigh, the author of the
" Carols of Cockayne," and endless
clever Ue,-s de SOciete in the comic period
icals of the day, was a quaint-lOoking,
addressed man who had tooth out in
front, which gave his mouth an odd ex-
preston, and his nose had a Tubicund
tint.
One day a member brought into the
club q strange old gentleman, evidently
